My First Marathon 26.2

 Wow I cant believe I jumped from a half Marathon to a full Marathon in just 3 weeks. Well it wasn't really a marathon. I still got a medal that said marathon though. It was called the 5 points of life marathon. What I really did was run 25 miles (one mile a day or so) in 3 weeks and finished the marathon with a  1.2 mile run the day of the event with my brother and lots more kids.
       I stared off the morning in the car driving because I live in Athens so I had to travel all the way to Gwinnett. After I finale got to the Gwinnett Braves stadium, I got my bib and walked around the vender's.             I met the braves beaver, Chopper; Michael Douglas a Harlem Globe Trotter, Sparky the Firefighter the dog, and  my favorite the Kid Cow from Chick-fil-a.    Remember Smart Kidz eat Chikin!!                         
      So what I did was I ran 25 miles in 3 weeks at home then I ran 1.2 miles with a lot more kids including my brother. As I stood at the staring line with my brother I saw all the mascots.


      When I heard the horn blow I wanted to go fast but the organizers asked that we take it slower because there was a lot of little kid. When I got past all the little kids, I sped up and finished strong.



       This was a free event for me. If you would like to find out more please visit 5points of life website,  http://www.fivepointsoflife.com/
